How can I implement a Java-based Selenium WebDriver script to download files, such as images, PDFs, JAR files, or similar, by clicking on a link or button, and then handle the ‘Save’ button if it appears, ultimately saving the file to a specific location?

Hi Dipen,

When configuring the Firefox profile, it’s essential to include a call to set the browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk property with a comma-separated list of MIME types you want to automatically download.

You can use the following code to achieve this:

firefoxProfile.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk", "text/csv");
